Installation introduction
This section contains the instructions to install, update,
and uninstall your product.
Planning the installation
Before you install or update the product, plan the installation.
When you effectively plan and understand the key aspects of the installation
process, you can ensure a successful installation.
Preinstallation tasks
To prepare for and simplify the installation process, back
up files, prepare databases and servers where required, and configure
workstations.
Post-installation tasks
After you install your product, complete post-installation
tasks, configure your product, and then start the product.
Modifying software
With the Modify Packages wizard in IBM® Installation Manager, you can change the
language and feature selections of an installed product package. You
can also use the Modify Packages wizard to install new features that
might be included in a package update, such as a refresh pack.
Updating software
You can search for product updates and install the updates
for your IBM product.
Reverting updates to previous versions
You can remove an update to a package in order to revert
to a previous version by using the Roll Back wizard of IBM Installation Manager.
Uninstalling software
Use the IBM Installation
Manager to uninstall your product. If no other products are installed,
you can uninstall Installation Manager also.
Installing silently
You can install a product package silently by using either
Installation Manager in silent installation mode or by using IBM Installation Manager installer.
When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, the user interface
is not available; instead, a response file inputs the commands that
are required to install the product package.
